True Dallas will face another team that many will again claim we have no chance at winning. I still find it funny the people complaining the most are the people who did not think Dallas would do anything and sure as hell not be 6-2 right now. lol

I didn't think they'd have as good a record as they do.

I also didn't think they'd lose to a garbage team like the Commanders.

Given the history of these 2 teams playing each other nothing surprises me, we have taken them down when no one expected it and they have done it to us a few times. Not excusing it but not over reacting to it either.

-I love Dez more than anyone but his inability to get separation from corners and droughts in the middle of games is starting to concern me. I see a player that's closer to $10million/yr than $15million. What say you?

-If Cole Beasley is as good as some claim he is, he should have taken over that type of game. He is someone I'm still looking to upgrade next year.

-After yesterday's game I'm officially 100% on the AP to Dallas bandwagon. If AP is cut and willing to take a paycut, he needs to be in a Dallas uniform next season. I say this because of Murray's salary demands, his fumble issues, and his inability to run in open space. Felt like he left some yards out there again.

-Anthony Spencer is either really rusty or he's done folks. Sad I expected more from him. I remember Broaddus predicting 2 sacks in his first game back.

-Kyle Wilber and CJ Spillman are two players that I wish we would upgrade immediately. Wilber is a terrible football player. Soft and never makes plays. The dropoff from Durant to him is mind boggling and part of the reason I wouldn't mind a trade today. I want to see Jakar Hamilton active next week over Spillman.

-Wilcox's interception gave me some hope for the future. He had a good game imo.

-Please stop the McClain - Sean Lee comparisons. McClain looked lethargic out there and basically cost us several drives with his poor tackling. I think the whole defense was shocked by Washington's physicality. They have some big backs that are difficult to take down but their slender tight ends were also successful shaking tackles.

-Dwayne Harris' value continues to plummet. I think all those monster hits he took the last few years has worn down his body. I also think the guys in front of him are doing a poor job this year.

-Chris Jones is lucky he's Bailey's holder.

Hey, you picked the Cowboys to win only 5 games this season. Why you crying?

They're garbage. Who said you are what your record says you are? Parcells?

Well their record says they're garbage.

It's simple, the coaches and players either were not prepared or they were looking at the Cardinals game already. How else to you explain an entire team wetting the bed at the same time?

That, right there, is what concerns me the most.

That's been the cowboys mantra for years.

It's why I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop............I can't help it.

They may be but they are still and NFL team capable of going out and winning a game. The games are played on the field not the stat sheets or in the press. Dallas made too many mistakes and played sloppy the longer you let bad teams hang around the more likely it is they will hit some plays on you to beat you.

Cole Beasley - I just don't think he's any good. I just don't see the guy making catches that are contested. He has to be wide open to catch the ball.

Anthony Spencer - I think everyone who expected big things from him was deluding themselves. The guy had microfracture surgery. He's lucky to be on the field at all. You really can't expect more than what he's doing right now. Seriously doubt he'll be even close to the player he was before the injury again.

Dewayne Harris - He's playing terribly. The ST as a unit seems down, but he's flat out not making good decisions out there. It's a shame because Harris would've been on a shortlist of players I actually like on this team before this season.

Cole Beasley has helped this team win 6 games.

Spencer I have no comments.

Harris has helped this team win 6 games.

Not every player on this team is going to be at their best every game.

@Galian Beast thoughts on Beasley? Your boy should have went ham yesterday with all of those zero blitzes. I think we can upgrade that position next year.

I don't think he has been consistently targeted enough to put any blame on him. This guy needs to be worked into our offense, not upgraded (especially since we can't afford to upgrade him).

We have the weapons to deal with those blitzes, we just didn't try anything different. Same thing every time...
